This week's theme, "MY GIFTS," inspired a reflection on the spiritual gifts that have guided my path to this point and empowers me to serve others. In this poem, "Empowering Hearts, Igniting Spirits," I explore the transformative power of how the spiritual gifts of shepherding, pastoring, and teaching – gifts that have not only shaped my own journey but also allow me to guide others toward living a life of intention, clarity, resilience, and purpose through faith-based coaching.

Through heartfelt words, the poem traces a journey from the shadows of defeat to living in the light of God’s daily grace. It's an invitation to embrace our faith in Jesus as a compass, to find strength in God's love, and to walk alongside others in a shared pursuit of spiritual growth and empowerment. I hope these words resonate with you and perhaps even spark a reflection on your own unique gifts and how you might use them to illuminate the path and impact the life for others.

Thank you Ann. I struggled for years to find myself. Being in a family with multiple religions and faiths was very confusing to me. I knew there was a higher power, I just didn't know which one it was. It took me a long time to realize it was Jesus that I needed. I followed Him until the death of my second husband. I blamed Him for his death and I turned my back on Him. Years later I realized He never left me. I am a Bible believing Christian. I have no religion but I have 1 faith, 1 Lord, and 1 baptism. He is the lamp at my feet and the light of my path
